Throwback Video: Mary J. Blige Featuring Lil' Kim - I Can Love You

Mary J. Blige teamed with good friend Lil' Kim for the second single off her album; "Share My World". The song samples Lil' Kim's own "Queen Bitch" which is a favorite of mine. This is an example of using a sample to fine effect.

Mary J. and Lil' Kim would collaborate again three later on Lil' Kim's 2000 album; "Notorious KIM" on the track; "Hold On".

Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever recorded …

If you were in love in 2003, it wasn't official unless you were living "Dangerously In Love". It was the title of Beyonce's 2003 breakthrough solo album which spawned the singles, "Crazy In Love" featuring Jay-Z, "Baby Boy" featuring Sean Paul, "Me, Myself, and I", and the title track. The album would serve as a precursor of what was to come from this bonafide superstar. Unlike her later albums, "Dangerously" was deep-rooted in southern soul and R&B melodies. This album also showed a more gentler, sultry, and relaxed(voice wise) Beyonce. As opposed to the last few years her style has been more abrasive and in your face. Never one to be outdone, Beyonce was set to release a follow-up to this album titled, "Dangerously In Love 2" featuring unreleased songs but it didn't happen.
